Essentially, Obama wants to limit climate pollution from power plants, increase renewable energy production, improve energy efficiency standards and impose more checks on methane and other pollutants. He also raised issues over further development of the Keystone Pipeline.

“We are pleased today to see President Obama outline his plan to address climate change, expand clean and renewable energy and improve energy efficiency. Green Sports Alliance member teams and venues have been embracing conservation efforts and cleaner sources of energy not only because it is better for the environment, but it is also better for our bottom line. Since the health of the sports industry depends on a stable climate we appreciate his leadership on this critical issue. Sports venues throughout our nation have demonstrated that adopting smart environmental strategies is good for both the environment and for business.”
